    Hi Jay,

    At the beginning I had 1 Volume, 1DG and 4 Disks. After a few tests with Windows 2008 I wanted to delete everything.

    I was able to delete the Volume and when I tried to destroy the DG (testdg) I received the following error "V-76-58645-598 - The specified disk is not empty, operation not allowed."  The Harddisk2 was the problem. Harddisk1, Harddisk3 and Harddisk 4 were aingain in the Basic Group. I tried to move the subdisk to another disk but SFW didn't accept this operation I swa the following error "...an interface with the unique identifier...".

    So I was looking for a command line solution. I didn't find anyting in the SFW Administrator Guide.

    By chance I tried the "Replace Disk" command and it's worked!

    If I right understand it's not possible to delete a subdisk but it should maybe possible to reinitialise the disk.

    Thanks for you help

    Best regards,

    Stephane
